10 December 13:30 CET

Join us for “Strategic Thinking – Fuel Your Growth”, an ESA BIC Nordics online webinar focused on the importance of long-term planning when raising funds.

During this session, Deborah Lygonis will explore how strategic thinking can strengthen your fundraising, followed by two ESA BIC alumni interviews:

Almir Heralic, co-founder and CEO of Procada
Peter Nilsson, co-founder and CEO of APR Technologies
Both will share their startup journeys and how a clear funding strategy has supported their growth.

You will also get an introduction to the EU Cassini Accelerator Program from Linda Krondahl (Sting) and a short overview from Civitta (ESA BIC Sweden partner) on how to access public funding, including a teaser for their upcoming webinar on 27 January.

We’ll wrap up with a Q&A session and a brief preview of the next ESA BIC Nordics webinar, hosted by ESA BIC Norway.

This webinar is open to ESA BIC incubatees and alumni companies in the Nordics, as well as anyone considering applying to an ESA BIC with a space-related business idea. The goal of this webinar is to provide insights and a better understanding of how to plan and improve your funding journey.
